Predeparture Butterflies

Although I still have 15 days before leaving the states, I only have eight days before I have to clear out of my summer residence in Maine. And when you have as much stuff as I do, eight days is not a lot of time to get your life together. My summer roommate moved out this past weekend, and since her departure my room has devolved into a total disaster zone.

On Sunday I went jumped the biggest hurdle: my clothes. I separated into three piles: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Kidding, it's all good! I selected what to bring, what to leave in storage, and what to give to Goodwill. Although I am proud of resisting the urge to procrastinate packing and preparing until the last minute, I recently realized that I have a whole bunch of clothes piled on my floor and nowhere to put them. Hence, the pigsty that is my living quarters.
